REDESIGNING OF URBAN SAFETY MEASUREMENT MODEL

ANALYSING CRIME STANDPOINTS

Dr. Rajesh Kumar*

Abstract

The objective of this study is to present a blueprint; how to test the safety status of a city. It applies the proposed model to investigate the first list of Indian smart cities. It measures the safety status of select cities by analyzing the crime standpoints and attempts to enquire; Are smart cities safe cities? The method creates five crimes categories based on relative nature and severity. Further, it assigns different value points for different crime categories to develop the city’s safety point as a determinant which constructs a more balanced tool. The study prima facie confirms that none city found safe as per the scale set forth. The applied model is one of the modules which may supplement to a broader assessment framework. Through a review of studies, it endorses the identical elements that will enrich the evaluation process and also be the topics of future investigations.

KEY WORDS

Urban safety; Measurement model; Indian smart cities; Ranking of safe cities; Crime statistics.

Introduction

The growth of urbanization is taking place at a faster rate in India since before its independence. The population of an urban area was 11.4 percent according to 1901 census which increased to 28.53 percent in 2001 and crossed 31.15 percent; according to 2011 census 377 million people living in urban areas and in 2018 this number rose to 449 million, accounting for 33.2 percent of India’s population and urban population projects to increase to about 600 million by 2030. (Worldometers, 2018)

The two peculiarities of congested cities attract attention; first, several slums rise rapidly, 37.14 percent decadal growth recorded in the number of ‘slum’ households. Almost two-thirds of statutory towns in India have ‘slums’ and 13.75 million households live in them. (Housing and Land Rights Network, 2014, p.1) By 2017, slum population of India will surge to

104 million, this means urban planners will face escalating challenges and consequences ahead as these slums will mostly proliferate in sleepy towns (Das, 2013) Contrary to above, GoI (Government of India) launched SCM (Smart Cities Mission) in June 2015 to develop 100 smart cities nationwide with the budget of 2031.72 billion for infrastructure development. However, it will impact 99630069 lives (Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, 2015) but eventually, the situation is awfully weird.

The village dweller moving towards an urban area because of many reasons, primarily for a livelihood. While they move to a city, an obvious question arises in their mind. How much is this city safe? How much will they be safe in the city? The individual keeps the safety as a topmost priority and in that case, safety studies influence their mind. To find an answer to these questions, it becomes inevitable to understand the

safety evaluation process. Their concerns have to be addressed appropriately. Hence, the primary aim of this study is to develop a basic and reliable evaluation approach.

Objectives of the Study

The explicit objectives of this study are to highlight the present crime statistics of select cities; propose a model to evaluate the safety status of a city; find overall CSP (City’s Safety Points) as a determinant by categorising crimes by nature and severity and identify a few more supportive components for evaluation.

Review of Literature

The population density and compactness, (Lehmann, 2016, p.2) and crime rate, both are significant components for safety and security of cities. The twelve select smart cities average populate 33.9 lakhs; (Smart Cities Mission, 2015, June) ICC (Incidence of Cognizable Crimes) -12101 and RCC (Rate of Cognizable Crimes)-454 each city whereas the incidence of national cognizable crimes is 7326099 with AIR (All India Rate of Cognizable Crimes) of crimes-581.8. These cities embrace 40680000 lives that’s 3.36 percent of national (1210854977) and 10.79 percent of urban (377106125) respectively. (National Crime Records Bureau, 2015).

A few evaluations study on the city’s safety and ratings are available. Further, notice that these studies result from spontaneous action, and later such studies become self-victim due to the dearth of standard operating procedures. The investigators raise questions on the validity of parameters and instruments used for the studies. Several studies examined by various viewpoints but none found suits to the Indian context. A study presents that at the aggregate level, reporting efficiency stood around 73 % (27

% under-reporting) (Chaudhuri, Chaudhuri and Kumbharkar, 2015, p.13) which shows an under-reporting of cases comprises a high ratio. Another study shows that reduced crime rates improve public safety

and general citizen well-being, (IHS Markit, 2017) which highlights the significance of crime rate, used as a standard index. Hence, instead of numerous contrary facts, the data on crime remains a prime tool and rate of crimes applied as an index for such evaluation studies. In 1958, the FBI created a national crime index to serve as a general indicator of criminality in the United States. (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2004) An international study based on an index composed of forty-nine quantitative and thirty-one qualitative indicators. These indicators are a diverse mix of four thematic categories: on the relative level of safety of four main categories, for example, digital security, health security, infrastructure safety, and personal safety. (Economist Intelligence Unit, 2017) But this study applies different assessment tools than the EIU study. Ironically, there is no such basic evaluation research work found which have used standardized parameters.

The traditional crime rate does not provide information on the overall seriousness of crimes, further propose Crime Severity Index for Canada using data on police-reported crime by considering the relative severity of a particular crime compared to other crimes. The seriousness of each offense (weights) is derived from actual sentences handed down by courts. (Wallace, et al. 2009) The conventional crime evaluation determines by the RCC but this study develops nRCC (new Rate of Cognizable Crimes); allocates different value points to different categories of crimes by assessing their severity.

Methods

A present study is a well-defined act of quantitative research measuring the safety status of a city. It follows the descriptive, and analysis method and present results in order.

Source of Data

The first list of smart cities declared by the SCM, Ministry of Housing and Urban

Affairs, GoI recorded from its website whereas the study restricts to smart cities. It records the prerequisite crime data from the annual report: ‘Crime in India 2015 Statistics’. (National Crime Records Bureau, 2015) It uses the data figures mentioned as RCC under different crime heads during 2015 for both IPC (Indian Penal Code) (refer table 4) and SLL (Special and Local Laws) (refer table 5) comprising 52 and 56 crime heads respectively. It excludes some crime heads which comprises a zero value and reflects no relevance form the study.

Data and Study Limitations

Many questions arise while conducting this study that which component: digital security, health security, infrastructure safety, and personal safety’ to analysis. After a review of the literature, the study observes that data on personal safety is more significant among above all components. Further, the data on personal safety reviewed; i.e., pre-measured data to prevent crime; data on a post-crime investigation and policing procedures; and trial, judgment and convictions rate, etc. Apart from the above, the data on other facets which may indirectly influence the

safety, i.e., preventive data on the natural disaster, terrorist attacks, human errors etc. reviewed, and as noticed that these facets comprise insufficient data. Ultimately, the study focuses on crimes data where a uniform data found in an annual report ‘Crime in India’ which is one of the prime documents on crime statistics in India. The rate of crime is a standard unit for measurement; crime reported per lakh person in the target population. It uses the data on cognizable crimes as it is, available in the report and RCC considered as an index for calculations and comparisons.

The SCM declared smart cities on 28 January 2016 on the factsheet of the year 2015 that also included safety and security aspects. Therefore, the ground realities of safety and security of these cities must test. Hence, the study accumulates the data of the select cities for the same year. The eight cities out of twenty smart cities comprise inadequate data, focused the study to twelve cities only.

As compare in table 1; the ICC of cities; Jaipur, Indore, and Ahmedabad gained top unsafe rank; in order to RCC, the rank order

changed to Jaipur, Indore, and Bhopal and so on as table 1 depicts. But equal weight- age or equalized RCC for all crimes is not justifiable which half-finished evaluation process appears. A heinous or accidental crime can’t be equally weighted; allocating a different value to a different nature of crimes considering its severity become vital.

Design and Development of Assessment Model

The following assumed categories of crimes assigned the value points under their severity. The study carefully drives the severity (value) of each crime by weighing the actual award of punishment under IPC and SLL; further on the merit of the expert’s advice.

First; a list of eligible crimes prepared separately for SLP and SLL along with their AIR and RCC. AIR of cognizable crimes denoted as the national base index for the rate of crime. Then as below-proposed, it

uses the formula to get nRCC under the above value points.

Table 2 - Calculations of CSP.

1. Average RCC = AIR

Value points of crime category

RCC

2. nRCC = Average RCC

For example, Average RCC = (AIR of Murder) 2.6 / Value points of crime category 5=0.52 nRCC= (RCC of Ahmedabad) 1.4 / (Average of RCC) 0.52= 2.69 (Please refer table 4)

The above formula is a new experiment to gain nRCC. The same results can be carried out by the following formula also.

3. i.e., murder in Ahmedabad (1.4 / 2.6 X 5 = 2.69)

Analysis and Discussion

By applying the proposed formula, nRCC of each city for each crime under IPC and SLL separately (refer table 4 and 5 respectively)

retrieved; overall nRCC corroborated to gain CSP for ranking of cities in order to determine the safety status. (See table -3)

The Average Mean of all cities nRCC carried out, i.e., 147.24 for IPC; 129.50 for SLL and 276.74 for overall.

The average mean (AvMn) of overall nRCC:

5.

Average mean = ∑nRCC (3320.87)

city counts (12)

(Overall) (see table 3; similarly, AvMn

calculated for IPC and SLL)

Further, nRCC is converted into CSP to determine the safety status of the cities.

6. (See table 3; similarly, CSP of other cities calculated as per IPC, SLL and overall)

7. a)

Average mean of overall city’s CSP in (+)

= ∑of city’s CSP (437.90)

city counts (6)

b)

Average mean of city’s CSP in (-)

= ∑of city’s CSP (-437.89)

city counts (6)

Similarly, the above method applied to get nRCC and CSP for both IPC and SLL.

Refer table 2: the seven cities found CSP in + and five cities in – under IPC; five cities found CSP in + and seven cities – under SLL and as overall equal cities six found in + and – both.

Further, the cities divided into following five safety statuses as per the gained CSP.

Safe City Status

It assumes the city’s safety level as per IPC as…

If CSP=0 then the city is considered as ‘Safe’

If 49.87<CSP then the city is considered as ‘Relatively Safe’

If 0<CSP≤49.87 then the city is considered as ‘Unsafe’

If 0<CSP≤-69.81 then the city is considered as ‘Relatively Unsafe’

If -69.81<CSP then the city is considered as ‘More Unsafe’

It assumes the city’s safety level as per SLL as…

If CSP=0 then the city is considered as ‘Safe’

If 61.46<CSP then the city is considered as ‘Relatively Safe’

If 0<CSP≤61.46 then the city is considered as ‘Unsafe’

If 0<CSP≤-43.91 then the city is considered as ‘Relatively Unsafe’

If -43.91<CSP then the city is considered as ‘More Unsafe’

It assumes an overall city’s safety level as…

If CSP=0 then the city is considered as ‘Safe’

If 72.98<CSP then the city is considered as ‘Relatively Safe’

If 0<CSP≤72.98 then the city is considered as ‘Unsafe’

If 0<CSP≤-72.98 then the city is considered as ‘Relatively Unsafe’

If -72.98<CSP then the city is considered as ‘More Unsafe’

The CSP score assists the comparison among cities and ranks them in order as depicted in table 3. An ideal condition assumed for a safe city; the city which obtained zero (0)

CSP score considered a safe city and zero (0) CSP score set as an index for the safe city. The obtained CSP score by the cities in plus and in minus appropriately assigned safety status in table 3. The city’s safety status presented as per the obtained CSP score for IPC, SLL and overall separately. It depicts the safety level in decreasing order from safe to unsafe. (From city SU to JP) Prima facie, none city found safe as per the scale set forth. Inconsistency noticed in smart city rank and safety status of the cities while comparing CSP score as per the IPC, SLL and overall.

Concluding Remarks

The study observes no consistency in the

rank of a smart city and a safe city. Hence, the rank of smart cities irrelevant to their status of safety. While comparing, two safer cities as per RCC of table 1 found a place in the top three safer cities as per nRCC in table 3. Identically all five top unsafe cities of table 1 found the place among top five unsafe cities in table 3 but in a changed order. Hence, results of this study are along the line which proved its worth by filling the proportional gaps which observed in table 1 and by applied to the proposed model; it presents refined results in table

3. By applying the model anyone can find the safety status of a particular city and can rank them by comparing among other

uniform cities. The method used in this study may be an example to other similar studies or will add value to more exhaustive studies. The study will draw the attention of think tanks, government agencies, and individuals who involve in research, policy making, and execution of decisions. Further, it will encourage them to develop benchmarks for the evaluation processes.

It is acknowledged that the results are significant even though there are many limitations to the study. It recommends a holistic evaluation framework comprising personal safety, digital security, health security, infrastructure safety, a safety measure for the natural disaster, and human errors, etc. Further, an integrated uniform crime reporting platform (to lodge FIR) is in the want of dealing with under-reported cases. Standardization of crime statistics recording and reporting is substantially essential to compare identical and contrary

figures for better evaluation model. Through the literature review, it identifies the above components that may enhance the evaluation procedure and could be the topics for future research. Further, standardization of crime data from local to international level is highly requisite for a more structured and elaborative evaluation method.

* Due to non-availability of AIR, lowest RCC of the city considered as AIR for that particular crime.

Note: 1. The calculated values are rounded up to one decimal and two decimals for RCC and nRCC (in bracket) respectively; hence an approximate value is used for analysis.

2. While conducting a study for other cities, existing crime may be removed or added new crime(s), sub-crime(s) or category as require.
